What I want to say, I don't think that the idea of separate nations of England, Wales and Scotland (and maybe Cornwall) is something very marginal. Uniting with Ireland on contrary is much more marginal and not very sane.

I've read that suppport for independence in Wales (I think that it was independence, not devolution) is about 16%.
I found this charter of population trends. Someone might find it useful.
